I really like Nikau (or Nico) too... in fact if it sounded better with our surname, it would have been a strong contender for this bubs.

I like both, esp Lennon! Sure reminds me of John Lennon, but it's cool. 
Went to school with a Nikau, but spelt Nico, I think it doesn't matter what way you spell a name, people will always have their own way of pronouncing it!! He got called "Nick-o", "Ny-koh"...

As the owner of a name that is frequently mispronounced you get used to it, and either correct people or at least understand what they're trying to say.

Lol Nikau was a name we seriously considered for Ollie, but he didn't pick up any of my Maori genes so Ollie suits him better

I vote for Nikau too!!
I also quite like Lennon, but if you're considering what school kids might come up with in years to come ... it does sound a bit like "lemon" (perhaps I am very immature).

I love Nico! It was on my list but DH didn't like it.
I taught a lovely and very cool boy called Nico last year. I asked him if he often got called the wrong name and he said Never. ....possibly cos of the way his is spelt.
We have a Frano and it is constantly mispronounced or often people don't use his name until they are confident with it.

Yeah,.... I'm a Nikau fan . It was either that, or Rico for us. And I favoured Rico that little bit more.

we loved Nico too but too short with our name and our little red head pale skinned chap probably not as suited to it:)
peanut is it Frano or Fra-no?
